Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"I've read some national publications where they say we are going to tear this thing down and start over. That's ludicrous. I believe in this core, and I believe in the guys working around them in the organization. We have our work cut out for us. We took a shot this year and committed to some guys who had the ability to be free agents after the season. That was a risk, but we went into it with our eyes wide open. We still hope to re-sign those guys, and I think we'll have the wherewithal to do it." - Texas Rangers General Manager Jon Daniels on MLB.com (T.R. Sullivan, 10/02/2006)
